One visitout to collect leaves, the forest was in a spectacular phase. There were glassy bright red berries up high in dense clusters, alongside large, pink, coral-like flowers that had burst from yellow pockets. The triangular pockets were resting on the ground among berries, some dropped pink blooms, and the leaves I was after. The colour was intense, and all about were the metal-greens of the hard striped columnar trunks forcing upward from a beautifully littered forest floor.You can forget where you are and at the same time be more clear than ever about where you find yourself standing.
